What if everything you thought you knew about Trump’s policies and their relation to Christian values was wrong? The media has been quick to label Trump’s policies as un-Christian, but is this narrative based on fact or fiction? On a recent discussion, Pastor Josh Howerton and his guests explored this topic, providing a fresh perspective on the intersection of faith and politics.

Setting the Record Straight

One of the primary misconceptions surrounding Trump’s policies is that they are inherently un-Christian. However, as Pastor Josh Howerton pointed out, this narrative is often based on incomplete or inaccurate information. For example, the increase in abortions after the overturning of Roe v. Wade actually occurred before Trump took office, under the Biden administration.

According to Pastor Josh Howerton, ‘What Jesus did, and we call them parables… He’s taking stories, some of which, by the way, were already popular in culture, and then He would take them and either twist them or change the ending to intentionally illustrate a biblical truth.’ This approach to storytelling is not dissimilar to the way Pastor Josh Howerton uses movies to illustrate biblical truths in his sermon series, ‘At The Movies’.

The Power of Storytelling

The world is constantly telling stories, and whoever tells the best stories wins. This is a concept that Pastor Josh Howerton emphasizes, highlighting the importance of using stories to convey biblical truths. By using popular movies as a medium, Pastor Josh Howerton aims to make biblical teachings more relatable and accessible to a wider audience.

A Unique Perspective

Pastor Josh Howerton’s discussion with author Raymond Ibrahim provides a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and politics. Ibrahim’s expertise in Islamic studies and his experiences working at the Library of Congress offer a fascinating insight into the history of Muslim conquest and its relevance to modern-day politics.

As Pastor Josh Howerton notes, ‘People getting saved, that’s what’s really holy to God.’ This statement underscores the central theme of his sermon series, which is to use stories to illustrate biblical truths and bring people closer to God.

Closing Thoughts

In conclusion, the notion that Trump’s policies are un-Christian is a myth that has been perpetuated by the media. By examining the facts and exploring the intersection of faith and politics, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues at play. Pastor Josh Howerton’s approach to storytelling and his use of popular movies to illustrate biblical truths offer a unique perspective on the importance of faith in our lives.
